Amy Adams Is Lois Lane

When you think of Superman, you think of specific things: the phrase "Truth, Justice & the American way," his power of flying, the iconic red-and-blue suit, and Lois Lane.

For as difficult a role to pull off the title character is, the same applies for Lois. It's a part that requires displaying the toughness and spunk being a hard-ass reporter, the wit supplied by the humor and one-liners and, most importantly, the chemistry with both the Man of Steel and his Clark Kent persona. You have to believe the person arguing with Perry White is the same one reduced to a wide-eyed, vulnerable girl when he's in front of Superman.

Hero Complex says Zack Snyder has found that actress, and it's the kind of casting that I can get behind. Amy Adams is the new Lois Lane.

Some will argue the age difference between her and Henry Cavill; she's 36 years-old and he’s 27. That shouldn't be a concern. If we're gonna nerdy about it, some of the comic-interpretations state that his being Kryptonian makes him physically age slower than human beings when he's actually quite older. On the other hand, and in a better and more basic way to put it, Lois needs to have a few extra years on Superman. She has the experience of living out in the real world where he's spent his youth on the Kent Farm in Smallville.

Check out her performances in Enchanted, Julie & Julia, Doubt, Sunshine Cleaning, and The Fighter (Hell even Night at the Museum 2) and tell me she's not a great choice.
